Background of the Study
Intergovernmental relations (IGR) are the interactions between different levels of government—federal, state, and local—within a federal system. Fiscal federalism is a key component of these relations, involving the financial interactions between governments, including revenue allocation and expenditure responsibilities (Obi, 2021). In Mubi North LGA, Adamawa State, the challenges of intergovernmental relations, particularly in fiscal federalism, have posed difficulties for efficient governance and development. This study explores how intergovernmental fiscal policies affect the functioning of local governments and service delivery in Mubi North.
